The Dead Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDBCEB| Hail and farewell to those who fought and died | A |
| Not laughingly adventurous nor pale | B |
| With idiot hatred nor to fill the tale | B |
| Of racial selfishness and patriot pride | A |
| But merely that their own souls rose and cried | A |
| Alarum when they heard the sudden wail | B |
| Of stricken freedom and along the gale | B |
| Saw her eternal banner quivering wide | A |

| Farewell high hearted friends for God is dead | C |
| If such as you can die and fare not well | D |

| You are with us still and can we be adread | C |
| Though hell gape bloody fanged and horrible | E |
| Glory and hope of us who love you Hail | B |
